Oasis by the Santa Fe River - 4 Blocks to Historic Plaza; 1 Block to Canyon Road

Casa Tierra is a unique historic adobe in a superb location: 4 blocks from the Santa Fe Plaza and 1 block off art-studded Canyon Road. This 2 bedroom/2 bath casita is tucked back from the Santa Fe River; the 6 minute stroll to the center of town is along shady sidewalks and seasonally flowing water.

This authentic adobe is hand-mudded in the ancient ways of native peoples. It is this rare and lovely hand-applied earthen surface that lends the house its name, Casa Tierra - House from the Earth. Casa Tierra is one of only six all-adobe, all-mudded homes remaining today in Santa Fe.

Upon entering Casa Tierra, you are greeted by a great room with high viga-beam ceilings, herringbone brick floors, fireplace, and museum quality art and antiques. The living room opens onto a granite topped kitchen with five burner stove. Both bedrooms offer a king or two-twin-beds sleeping option (new beds!) and each has its own joyfully tiled Talavera bath. Handmade doors, furnishings, carvings and woodwork throughout offer a rustic Old World ambiance.
Casa Tierra opens out onto four private and inviting sitting areas beneath venerable Cedar and Cypress trees--perfect for communing with friends or simply relaxing and enjoying time alone. This is truly an Oasis by the Santa Fe River.

Girls Mutual Birthday Trip
Our group included three girls meeting in Santa Fe from three different cities to celebrate our mutual birthdays. We definitely wanted something that was unique and reflected the Santa Fe architecture. This place delivered.!!!! The location was fantastic. We had hoped to do quite a bit of hiking and there were plenty of trails near us. However, Santa Fe had a freak snow storm during our stay that delivered about 14 inches of snow.! The homeowner herself, was out shoveling our place along with a caretaker who was using a snowblower. It was great to meet Noel, who is an artist and did most of the artwork in the house. Because we were so close to the plaza and Canyon Road we were able to walk to many places and didn’t have to get our vehicles out in the snow. The house provided so many helpful tools to help us enjoy our stay. There were many maps and Noel had put together a binder of things to do and places to eat. Because of the snow, we lost our cable and Internet, but there were plenty of games to keep us entertained. We had a nice fire in the fireplace also. It is great that the host offers optional sleeping arrangements in the two bedrooms….. either two kings or four twins. It makes it much more flexible for singles. Because of the snow, and temperature, we did not get to use the outdoor patio at all. I’m sure it would be lovely in the milder months. Everything was fantastic except for a few ants in the kitchen, which Noel said she would address.

Casa Tierra Getaway
The stunning casa offers gorgeous amenities and captures the spirit of Santa Fe. A close walk to Canyon Road and the downtown plaza were perfect. We didn’t need to drive anywhere (except Ten Thousand Waves). A quiet retreat from the crowds on the plaza. Restaurant suggestions in the book were spot on! Such a lovely space to be with family. Thank you Emily & Noel for sharing this sanctuary!

Delightful
We stayed for 3 weeks and enjoyed the back patio and the cottage, both nestled under 2 enormous trees - one an Atlas cedar and the other an huge cypress. The interior was comfortable with lots of natural light. The kitchen was also well stocked. We also liked the car port and room off street to park two and even three cars. We would definitely stay there again.

Made Santa Fe Even Better!
This is one of the very best places we have stayed. The home is immaculate, beautiful, well-appointed, spacious. We were so happy to return every afternoon after visiting museums and galleries. We walked to fantastic restaurants each evening (in fact,the location was so good we never had to use the car during our 3-day stay). We look forward to staying here again!

Perfect location! Close to Canyon Road and Old Town
I go to Santa Fe a minimum of 4X a year. Place was lovely- older with charm and character. Friend trip of 60 and older. They can arrange beds into singles or kings, 2 per room and 2 functioning full baths. We didn't manage the front door effectively- but one of the owners responded immediately. Owners have an excellent book on things to do (my top picks for restaurants were on their lists) and how to operate the house. It is a guest house- detached with a separate drive way and very private. EASY TO PARK. Lovely living room to visit in with some cool unique original art work the owner has done. Have already sent the link to another friend going this month. I'm more into locations and comfort. I will defiantly book again.
